The Amani School for the deaf is the only boarding school for the deaf in the eastern zone of Tanzania. Here they come to learn; they are taught, cared for and loved. This place is their home where they live, learn and become aware of their capabilities. The school started in 2013 and to date we have 51 students. We include also the children who are normal (without a hearing impairment) just to be like the catalyst in their midst and this helps these special children to feel integrated and have a sense of belonging.
